Kanna Takase
Imura Art Gallery is pleased to present Kanna Takase’ s solo exhibition “After the Same Moon.”
Born in Osaka in 1994, Kanna Takase has based her artistic pursuits in Kyoto since earning an MFA in painting at the Graduate School of Arts at Kyoto City University of Arts in 2020. She was awarded the Selected Exhibition Grand Prize of the Kyoto Art for Tomorrow competition in 2024, and her works were subsequently shown at a major solo exhibition at the Museum of Kyoto’ s Annex Hall.
Takase’ s paintings emerge from her interest in human communication, but frequently use animals as a motif to express feelings that cannot be conveyed in words. Claws and fangs represent how people hurt one another, while fur becomes a metaphor for protecting the self.
The exhibition’ s title, After the Same Moon, reflects her desire to convey how people’ s memories of shared moments transform over time into differences in perception or subtle divergences in feeling̶for example, two people may gaze at the Moon together, but as time passes, their perceptions of this same shared experience grow apart.
We cordially invite you to visit this solo exhibition of Takase’ s paintings, the gallery’ s first in two years, and enjoy its presentation of ten of her latest creations.
